Vertical stratification (VS) is a widespread phenomenon in plant and animal communities in
forests and a key factor for structuring their species richness and biodiversity, particularly in …

Mist nets set at ground level is the traditional method of surveying bats and in the Amazon,
almost half of the bat surveys used this methodology. The sole use of ground-level mist nets …

Edge effects, abiotic and biotic changes associated with habitat boundaries, are key drivers
of community change in fragmented landscapes. Their influence is heavily modulated by …

Hydropower infrastructure represents a major driver of habitat loss and insular fragmentation
worldwide, mostly across the tropics and sub‐tropics. Despite growing evidence of dam …

Context Human-modified landscapes are globally ubiquitous. It is critical to understand how
habitat loss and fragmentation impact biodiversity from both a local habitat context and …

Background Previous research has shown diverse vertical space use by various taxa,
highlighting the importance of forest vertical structure. Yet, we know little about vertical …

Abstract Changes in moonlight intensity can affect predation risk and induce changes in
habitat use and activity of nocturnal species. However, the effect of moonlight on animal …

Abstract Phyllostomids (New World leaf-nosed bats) are the ecologically most diverse bat
family and have undergone the most extensive adaptive radiation of any mammalian family …

Richness is a key variable for understanding biodiversity, and estimates of species
occurrence should be as comprehensive as possible and based on reliable records. The …

The study of animal–habitat interactions is of primary importance for the formulation of
conservation recommendations. Flying, gliding, and climbing animals have the ability to …
